stonelw;lasliI Jacksonto his Pastor.

ATHENS, GA, February 12.-An
unpublished letter, written by Stone
wall Jackson to his pastor. has Just
been made public here. Ithas been
hidden away in the trunk of an Elber-
ton lady, whose brother found it on
one of the battlefelds of Virginia.
The letter bears marks of the fading
touch of time, but the writing is dis
tinct. The letter is as follows:
F" CAROLINE Co., VA, Feb. y, 1888.
"My Dear Pastor.-I drop you a
note to say that your son Toms ap-
plication to be transferred to the cav
airy had been made before your letter
reached me. regret that he should
have taken such a step, as l think he
would have had more desirable po-
sition with Gen. Paxton. He is now
a member of Company G, First Vir-
ginia cavalry. This company is from
Rockbridge, and is the same that Mat
White brought into the field. If l
can be of any service to you, at any
time, 1 hope that you will command
nv services. Such funds as have
in your hands please appropriate as
you think will do the most good, and
in such manner as to have none on
hand at the end of the year. The
Stonewall Brigade:is holding services
twice during the Sabbath in build
ing which the brigade has nearly com
pleted. Mr.. Hopkins, of our church,
preached there last Sabbath evening.
Please remember me very kindly to
Mrs. White and Mrs. McCrum.
every truly your friend,
T. J. Jackson"

follows:

A prisoner is supposed to be con-
fined in a prison of which the above
is a plan. Each cell opens into all
cells adjoining it. Surprising the
prisoner to be in cell A, and to be
offered his freedom if he will from
that cell go through every other cell
and out at B, going through no cell
more than once in passing from A to
B, could he gain his liberty?
Our readers can, if they feel like
it, entertain themselves with a solu-
ton of the puzzle. Its true solution
has not been made known.

THE SAN JOAQUIN.
A Suit to Prevent the COnfirna.
tiOn of it's Sale.

Yesterday A. f. Davis brought suit
against w. ID. Smith and the trustees
of the Irvine estate to prevent and en-
join the sale of the San Joaquin ranch
to said w. d. Smith. The case, which
is known to the readers OF the HER
AID, is briefly as follows: The trus-
tees decided to sell the ranch at auc-
ton on the 18th of July, at the
Office of Messrs. Bicknell & White,
and Judge Bicknell, whose honesty
and fairmindedness has never been
questioned, was selected to act as
moderator. 1t was suggested to the
trustees by Mr.. A. +. Davis, and
agreed to, that the bids should close
at exactly $50 O'Clock. The other
bidders wished to extend the time,
but it is said that Mr.. Davis positively
declined to agree to the extension.
The bidding commenced, and Judge
Bicknell kept his eyes fixed on his
watch, while a shorthand re-
porter took down the bids.
Just as the time expired
Mr.. Smith bid 81 1850, 900 and Judge
Bricknell said CLOSED. Davis
at the moment Judge Bicknell
closed the sale, said $1,3S5 900.
Judge Bicknell said "Davis, the ranch
is yours, at 81, 1884 ,OOO." The short
hand reporter and the witnesses all
said"why that was Smiths bid" The
Judge said 81 had my eyes on the
watch but the person who bid 81 $780,
600, gets the ranch and therefore it is
sold to Mr.. Smith" This above
statement Mr.. Davis denies and
wants the Superior Court to adj
Judge the ranch sold to him
and not to Mr.. Smith. The complaint
alleges that, of the five trustees,
Messrs. f. B. Mastick, j. w. Byrne,
1. f. Davis and Mrs. Margaret Irvine
are strongly in favor of the ranch
being sold to A. +. Davis, while Mr..
George Irvine is the sole trustee in
favor of the sale as made bing con-
firmed to Mr.. Smith. Mr.. +. A.
Gibson, County Recorder, who is one
Of the associates of Mr.. Smith in the
purchase, says that Mr.. Mas
tick is also of the opinion
that the sale should be confirmed
to Mr.. Smith. He says that. Messrs.
Smith, Studebaker, Timken and sew
eral of the purchasers are possessed Of
a large amount of this worlds goods
and that they will fight the Davis fac
ton to the the bitter end. This litiga-
tion means that the ranch will be tied
up for some years to come and also in
dicates that the relations between the
trustees will become more strained
than they are at present. Z.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-07-21

had a half column, and the Times a
quarter column of the transaction.
In the HERALD's local account of
the sale it took occasion to say as
follows:
"The Davis party was not at all sat
isfied, and insisted vigorously that
his bid of 1885, 900 was called in
ample time to be received. There
was a great deal of talk, but Judge
Bicknell adhered to his former de-
cision and made it final that the ranch
was sold to Mr.. Smith.
"The Davis party is still disgruntled
and have requested the trustees to
meet on Monday with view to hav-
ing the sale to Smith ct. al. declared
void If the trustees go back OF Judge
Bicknell's decision, serious cOmpli-
cations will arise, and the ranch may
again be offered for SALE"
The HERALD also mentioned editor
tally the nice question that was likely
to arise. Now, on Wednesday morn
ing, four days after the transaction,
the Tribune, with that quality of ad-
amantine face that makes marble
statue hide its diminished head, says !:
cas- exclusively stated in yester-
days Tribune, there is a hitch in the
sale, which promises to be a very
serious one for somebody. Very
small things have caused law suits,
entailing great expense and little
satisfaction"
Come, son, hunt your Scoops" to
earth, and when secured hold wake
over them, but when you get badly
left on an important item, don't try
the exclusive" dodge.

GORMLEE'S CRIME.
His Reported Capture I'm Cotton
Proves a Failure.

The news received in this city on
last Tuesday night to the effect that
Marshal Earp had captured Tom Cor
lee, the ravisher OF Maggie Curtis, at
Cotton, has proved untrue. Officer
Bosqui Immediately took freight
train for Cotton, but returned yester-
day morning without the prisoner.
He arrived at Cotton in the middle of
the night and Immediately went to
the jail, where the ruffian was sup
posed to be confined. The fellow was
Immediately examined, and stood
trembling during the ordeal. 1t was
found that he strongly resembled
Gormlee, even to being tatooed with
a bracelet and the form OF woman
on his fore arm. He bore such a
striking resemblance to the fellow
that Bosqui was in some doubt, but a
friend of Gormlee's, who accompanied
Bosqui, was positive that there was a
mistake. The fellow was arrested for
being drunk and disorderly" during
a row on Tuesday, and is still held
captive for that offence.
Chief Skinner is very much worried
over the case, so much so that he re-
mains in his Office unusually late in
the hopes OF hearing some definite
news of Gormlee's whereabouts. He
says that while he is confident that
the Cotton man is not Gormlee, he
cannot understand how he comes to
bear such a striking resemblance to
him physically, besides the mark upon
his arm. He regrets that Bosqui did
not bring him back with him SO that
it could be decided to public satisfac-
ton that he is not the man that is
wanted.
A rumor was started OH the streets
yesterday to the effect that Gormlee
had been brought back from Oolton,
and that he was confined in the
Crunty Jail. Many suggestions as to
what ought to be done were mentioned,
but the County Jail was not visited,
save by few harmless newspaper
men who were anxious to learn if
there was any truth in the rrmor. 1t
was learned that the whole thing was
hoax and that the brute is still at
large.

The Fire BELL.

A small boy, named Taylor Will
liams, while amusing himself playing
with matches in lot on Figueroa
and Fifth streets yesterday afternoon,
set fire to the dry grass and an alarm
was turned in from box 46. The fire
department responded, but on ac-
count of the lack of hydrants in the
vicinity they could render no assis-
tance. A large force of men, however,
after considerable work, managed to
subdue the flames by beating them
with wet sacks.
An alarm was turned in yesterday
morning at O'Clock for small fire in
a frame dwelling, l41 East First street.

The New York Sun, in private letters
from officers and machinists aboard
the new steel cruiser Atlanta, says, that
during the target practice in Gardeners
Bay, on Monday, the eight-inch bow
and stern Barbette pivot guns recoiled
with such force as to tear loose the
tracks on which they turn, and also to
rip up a portion of the heavy gun
deck. These guns are the heaviest
afoat in the service, and those on
board the Atlanta are the first to be
tested on board ship by our naval
officers. Just how serious the damage
is cannot be learned.
Baron Selliare, the rich Frenchman
who was placed in lunatic asylum
by his relatives, who charged that he
was insane over imaginary fortunes
he had made in America, has been re-
leased from the asylum.

"EXCLUSIVELY."
A Good Word That Is Sometimes
Abused,

A Good Word That is Sometimes
Abused.
This is word that flows smoothly
from the pencil of certain reporters ON
several OF the city newspapers. An
accident happens in one Of their press
rooms and the reporter rushes to the
news room frantically and writes an
article in which the words exclusive"
and "scoop" appear at stated intervals.
At times they go to the length of call
ing attention to a five cent a line adver-
tisement as published Exclusively" in
their sheets. Now the boys are clever
fellows, but they have the scoop idea
SO firmly imbedded in their brains { p
that it sometimes crops out at inop-
perfume times. That very estimable
and newsy sheet, the Tribuue, is prob
ably little fonder Of the use of the
unctiuous word Exclusive" than any
of the other papers, but that paper
should be more careful as to the man
ner in which the expression is thrown
inte its columns, and not make it 80
frequent or so prominent as the notices
calling attention to the location OF the
business office Of the paper. The
word should be used judiciously, and
the glaring manner in which it
was yesterday morning handled locally
| in the Tribune calls for gentle re-
monstrance.
On last Saturday afternoon the San
Joaquin ranch was sold at the office o
Messrs. Bicknell 4 White. The 1rib'
une reporters, in their wild, weirc
search after scoops, allowed this rather
important item of news to escape them
That paper Sunday morning hadn't {
] word about the sale, while the HERALI
